further emphasized the danger of
similar occurrences along our long

to report to General Funston who
•will assign them stations along the
l.order for patrol duty.
"In addition to this two additional regiments of regular infantry have
been directed to proceed to the border and such further arrangements

arrived here with three men wound-1
ed in the raid declared a Carranzista j

Washington. ' May 9.—General
Scott's early morning message to the
war department today indicated that
conferences between him and General Obregon are probably at an end
and that the efforts to secure a peace
pact are shattered.
It was intimated broadly to the
United Press that Obregon had not
actually threatened to use Carranza
soldiers against the American forces
if the withdrawal were not immediately accomplished hut it was said:
"The situation is not at all good,
and we might as well prepare for
trouble."
While army men closely conceal
ed the actual contents of the Scott
report they were more than usually
J'secretive even as to hints of its na-
j ture. There was no mistaking, how-
by, ever, that the tone of it was particii-
' larly serious.
The view of the situation taken by
many here was that General Obregon
has broken with Carranza and taken
affairs into his own hands. Reports
i of a break have circulated from time
Fire not' t0 time recently. Obregon has had
' opportunity to rally certain of the
leaders of Northern Mexico if he desired and he may believe he is now
I in a strategic position to gain control
of the government.
Obregon is known as one of the
keenest men and best military commanders in Mexico.

United Piws Staff Correspondent.
Washington, May 9.—With President Wilson's acceptance of Germany's now altered policy of submarine warfare only today received in
Berlin, that new policy may already
have been put to the test by a submarine commander. The torpedoing
of the liner Cymric, if it was without warning apparently violates the
very orders against attacking merchantmen which the German imperial
government has declared are in effect.
The fact that no Americans were
aboard Washington officials said today does not enter into the case.
Germany has declared her orders now
ito submarine commanders are intended to confine the operation of the war
for the rest of its duration to the
fighting forces of the belligerents.
The Cymric was not of the fighting
forces.
What effect the Cymric incident
may have is problematical. If Americans were aboard, quick disavowal
of the attack and proper reparation
would be expected. The United
States government has made the
maintenance of friendly relations
with Germany contingent on abandonment of such attacks as that reported yesterday afternoon. Germany has reported issuance of orders
to prevent such attacks. It is possible tbe Cymric was the victim of
a submarine whose commander has
not yet received the new orders. Until the facts are known officials here,
confronted with what may prove a
serious violation of Germany's assurances are disincline'] to discuss its
affect.
The status of German-American
relations today following dispatch
yesterday of the president's note to
Berlin is briefly:
"If Germany is unwilling to abide
by international law in her submarine warfare except In return for successful United States negotiations
with Great Britain sin must say so
definitely."
